Publication history

The first installment of the series ran for 41 issues[1] with two 64-page annuals. Multiple writers contributed to this series during its three-year run from 1992 to 1995.[2] The series served mainly as a vehicle for longtime Marvel artist John Romita Jr., who had returned to Marvel after a lengthy hiatus from drawing a monthly title. In 2009, Marvel published a 6-issue limited series under the same title. The storyline was called "The Resurrection of Ma Gnucci".
